Abstract: A (haloalkyl)dibenzo-onium sulfonate represented by general formula (I). The use of the compound as a haloalkylating agent extremely facilitates the separation of the objective water-insoluble haloalkylated organic compound in the post-treatment step. The agent can be produced by using an industrially inexpensive raw material, since the raw material for synthesis thereof is easily available on an industrial scale or is easy to synthesize.

Description: Field of the Invention The present invention relate to a new substance named (haloalkyl)dibenzooniumsulfonate and its production methods; and a haloalkylating agent and haloalkylating methods. Prior Art (Haloalkyl)dibenzoonium salts and their substitution compounds are useful known haloalkylating agents for organic compounds [See Tetrahedron Lett., Vol. 31, p3579 (1990); japanese Patent Opening No.197479/91; and J. Am. Chem. Soc., Vol. 115, p2156 (1993)]. It has, however, turned out that the known (haloalkyl)dibenzoonium salts and their substituted compounds as haloalkylating agents cause difficult problems in the post-treatment process. For example, haloalkylating the sodium salt of 2-methyl-1, 3-cyclopentanedione with (haloalkyl)dibenzothiophenium trifluoromethanesulfonate simultaneously generate equivalent dibenzothiophene and sodium trifluoromethanesulfonate beside 2-(haloalkyl)-2-methyl-1, 3-cyclopentanedione as shown in the following formula. formula. While the latter sodium trifluoromethanesulfonate of the above-stated products can easily be removed from the reaction mixture liquid by rinsing it because that substance is water-soluble, the former dibenzothiophene cannot be separated through the rinsing process from 2-(haloalkyl)-2-methyl-1, 3-cyclopentanedione to be obtained because both substances are non-water-soluble. As a result, a very complicated process is required to separate the dibenzothiophene from the reaction mixture liquid. This is a serious shortcoming in the prior art for this type of production. Object of the Inventions The object of the present inventions is to provide new compounds suitable for industrial production from cheap materials by enabling the simpler separation of those objective products from haloalkylated substances in the post-treatment process. Constituents of the Invention To solve the above-stated problem, the inventors have thoroughly studied an idea of integrating a water-soluble functional group into a dibenzoheterocycle. As a consequence, they succeeded in introducing (bonding) a water-soluble sulfonic acid anion group to a dibenzoheterocyclic compound. The inventors have thereby attained the object and created the present inventions. Dibenzoheterocyclic sulfonic acid or its metallic salts which are produced by haloalkylation by means of the invented substance as the haloalkylating agent can easily be separated through the rinsing process because those products are water-soluble. Dibenzoheterocyclic sulfonic acid or its metallic salts can also be separated through the simple filtration process because they are not soluble in conventional organic solvents. (In the above formula, Rf, A, R 1 and R 2 are the same as defined in the general formula (I) of the present inventions, and M means a hydrogen atom or a metal atom.) The present inventions relate to (haloalkyl)dibenzooniumsulfonate as represented by the following general formula (I) that is useful as a good haloalkylating agent. (In the above general formula, Rf means a haloalkyl group with 1 to 10 carbons; A is a sulfur atom, a selenium atom, or a tellurium atom; and R 1 and R 2 are hydrogen atoms, nitro groups, or lower alkyl groups with 1 to 4 carbons.)

Chem. Soc. Jpn., Vol. 64, p2008 (1991), and J. Am. Chem. Soc., Vol. 115, p2156 (1993)]. Sulfonating agents which can be used in this process include fuming sulfuric acid (SO 3 -H 2 SO 4 ), sulfuric acid-trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride, but fuming sulfuric acid can be preferably used in terms of economy. SO 3 concentration of the fuming sulfuric acid is normally 5% to 80%, or preferably 10% to 70%. The amount of sulfonating agent used in this process can be suitably decided in a range of 0.8 mol to 10 mol, or preferably 1 mol to 5 mol, of effective sulfonating agent molecules ( HSO 3 + for 1 mol of the compound represented by the formula (II). The reaction temperature can be in a range of 0°C to 100°C or preferably the room temperature to 80°C . The reaction of this process is effected by mixing the compound represented by the formula (II) with the above-mentioned sulfonating agent. In the above general formula (II), X is a conjugated base of a Brönsted acid. Those Brönsted acids include strong acids such as sulfuric acid, monomethyl sulfuric acid, chlorosulfonic acid, fluorosulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, difluoromethanesulfonic acid, trichloromethanesulfonic acid, perfluoroethanesulfonic acid, trifluoroethanesulfonic acid, tetrafluoroethanesulfonic acid, butanesulfonic acid, perfluorobutanesulfonic acid, perfluorooctanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, nitrobenzenesulfonic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, hydrogen chloride, HBF 4 , HSbF 6 , HSbCl 5 F, HSbCl 6 , HAsF 6 , HBCl 4 , HBCl 3 F, HAlCl 4 , HAlCl 3 F, HPF 6 , and HClO 4 . (Haloalkyl)dibenzooniumsulfonate containing a nitro group as R 1 in the above general formula (I) of these inventions can also be produced according to the following reaction formula ii. (In this reaction formula, Rf, A and R 2 are the same as mentioned in the above.) [ii process] This process produces nitro-substituted (haloalkyl)dibenzooniumsulfonate as represented by the above general formula (I'') by reacting the compound represented by the above general formula (I') with a nitrating agent. The compound of the formula (I') used in this process can be produced through the i process of the present inventions. Nitrating agents that can be used in this process include nitric acid-sulfuric acid, fuming nitric acid-sulfuric acid, nitric acid-fuming sulfuric acid, fuming nitric acid-fuming sulfuric acid, nitric acid-trifluoromethanesulfonic acid-trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, nitric acid-chlorosulfonic anhydride, nitric acid, nitric acid-fluorosulfonic acid, nitronium trifluoromethanesulfonate, nitronium tetrafluoroborate, nitronium hexafluorophosphate, nitronium hexafluoroantimonate, nitronium hexafluoroarsenate. The amount of the nitrating agent used for this can be suitably decided in a range of 0.8 mol to 10 mol, or preferably 1 mol to 5 mol, of effective nitrating agent molecules (NO 2 + ) for 1 mol of the compound represented by the formula (I'). The reaction temperature can be in a range of 0°C to 100°C, or preferably the room temperature to 80°C . In this process, the nitrating agent, if a liquid one is used, can also be used as the reaction solvent. On the other hand, if a solid nitrating agent is used, a reaction solvent can be used preferably. Substances that can be used as the reaction solvent include sulfuric acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, nitromethane, methylene chloride, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride. In the above reaction formulas (i) and (ii), A, R 1 and R 2 can be combined as follows: (1) A is a sulfur atom, and R 1 and R 2 are hydrogen atoms, nitro groups or alkyl groups with 1 to 4 carbons; (2) A is a selenium atom, and R 1 and R 2 are hydrogen atoms; or (3) A is a tellurium atom, and R 1 and R 2 are hydrogen atoms. Industrial Applicability of the Invention (Haloalkyl)dibenzooniumsulfonate represented by the above general formula (I) of the present inventions is produced by introducing (bonding) a water-soluble sulfonic acid anion group to a dibenzoheterocycle. Therefore, dibenzoheterocyclic sulfonic acid or its metallic salts that are produced in a process using (haloalkyl)dibenzooniumsulfonate as the haloalkylating agent can easily be separated through the rinsing process because those products are water-soluble. Dibenzoheterocyclic sulfonic acid or its metallic salts can also be separated through the simple filtration process because they are not soluble in conventional organic solvents. Haloalkylated organic compounds (non-water-soluble) as the objective product can very easily be separated in the post-treatment process. The compounds as raw materials represented by the above general formulas (II) and (I') are industrially available or can easily be synthesized. Accordingly the compound represented by the above general formula (I) can be produced with cheap materials in an industrial sense.
